Oh my the poor thing! How awful! I hope you and your friend still drink the stuff just not the open part! I am celebrating with 4 crazy 10 and 11 year olds. It is my son's birthday today! No champagne for me, ok maybe just one!

Oh Nita! Life is too short not to drink Champagne! But I agree, let someone else open it! I had to chuckle about you going to the party...I was laughing because how could you NOT go when you had a dress like that!?I broke down and went to my sisters (it was fine, ya know, just OK) I only went because she sounded so disappointed when I first said that I just wanted to go to bed but....anyway, Happy New Years!I'm off to bed!:) - Cindi

I started out at the Bravo party too but I only made it to 11:00. But that was after I had a few friends over, we all made dinner together which was fun--and a little champagne--and they left at 9:30 because they were tired!

Happy New Year Nita! I wonder what will happen for us this year? Its always exciting to think of what may come....you tell the funniest stories even when the circumstances were less than fun. The dress sounds so pretty, I remember getting all excited for the big night out. Last night I was tucked in bed as hubs worked the midnight shift. So it was the dogs and me ringing in the new year sound asleep. I would have liked checking out the Bravo party, but I forgot about it. I'll be taking down my tree today, my annual tradition, while hubs gets his sleep. Looking forward to more adventures with you Nita!

Good grief...I had no idea it would actually break the glass! I thought at most it would pop out and put an eye out or knock you silly. Wow, I have a whole new respect for champagne bottles. So glad you had a quiet evening, inside nice and safe.

Oh my gosh, now that is an unforgettable New Years story! I had champagne last night but I always make my husband open it while I go and hide...I have huge fears of being shot in the eye with the cork!

Happy New Year to you and all your furbabies and here's to a wonderful 2011:):):)
